Liu Yao sat in a group of court musicians, looking a little out of place.

Not only because of his tall figure, but also because of the beard on his face.

If a man in the Great Jin Dynasty has a beard, he only has some long hair, but there is really no one like him in the palace.

The director of Leshu surnamed He, looked at Liu Yao and nodded, and shook his head again.

"What does this mean?" Liu Yao was a little uncomfortable, and he had already shown a posture of not approaching the living.

Naturally, Master He didn't want to get close to him, but he couldn't help it, so he said: "The shakuhachi that I listened to you play last night was quite good, but it was a little too sharp, and it was not suitable for the joyful atmosphere of the Great Cold Banquet. ”

"How?" Liu Yao is very humble, the best musicians in Dajin are here, no matter how confident he is, he is also very impressed when he hears the practice and performance of this group of people.

"It's better to be soft." Master He thought for a while, "Does Brother Liu have a wife?" ”

"Oh, not yet." Liu Yao was a little embarrassed.

"Then I ask, do you have a sister by your side?" Mr. He changed the question again, and he laughed himself.

"Since I was a child, I was the only one, and I was surrounded by brothers." Liu Yao is very honest.

"Do you have a favorite woman?" He has an excellent temper and a soft voice.

"What's this for?" Liu Yao didn't understand.

"Let's put it this way, you are playing the song "Sauvignon Blanc", which is the person who loves each other on both sides, thinking about it day and night, and turning sad. But Brother Liu actually blew out the brotherhood of Jin Ge Iron Horse, isn't that right? ”

Before Director He finished speaking, several musicians around him also laughed and patiently explained: "When a woman plays this tune, she will be biased towards tenderness, and there will be a sound of procrastination in the place where the palace merchant is horned. When a man plays this song, there will be a hint of determination, but there must be a continuous sound at the end of the note, so that people can feel the man's stumbling and reluctance. ”

"How can you not give up?" Liu Yao asked again.

"For the woman you like, but you can't see each other often, will you miss it?" He was inspired by the Lord.

"I don't have a woman I like." Liu Yao even sighed lightly.

Director He and several other musicians couldn't help but laugh dumbly, "Brother Liu is in his twenties this year?" ”

"Twenty-three."

"Shouldn't it? Dajin men are already full of wives and concubines at your age. ”

"My family is poorer, my parents are long gone, and there is no one to discuss the marriage." Liu Yao grinned.

"Okay, just imagine it. A delicate woman is the object of your affection, but you can't see her every day, so there is always some melancholy in your heart. ”

When He began to depict, a large snowflake suddenly fell, and the musician sitting at the door played the yaoqin, and the murmuring sound was a little complaining.

When Liu Yao looked over, the figure at the door swayed, and among the shadows of the temples, there was a familiar face, smiling gracefully.

"Third sister." Liu Yao shouted in his heart, but when he saw her face clearly, he was timid.

The girl's face was crystal clear, her skin was as bright as snow, and there was a small dimple on her goose egg face, which was slightly shy.

The yellow skirt is embroidered with a phoenix's Bixia Luo, the pink smoke gauze skirt that mops the floor, the soft yarn of Luo Cui is held in the hand, and a peony flower is obliquely inserted in the wind bun and fog temples.

"Slaves/slaves/subordinates/subordinates/grass people...... I've seen the queen mother. ”

The musicians in the Peony Garden, the palace people, and some of the forbidden army and temporarily recruited musicians, saw Yang Xianrong walking in, saluting in a disorderly manner, and the sound of the yaoqin stopped abruptly, but the humming sound became another kind of music.

Seeing such a scene, Yang Xianrong laughed and asked, "Fortunately, I heard that there were a lot of people here before I came to this palace, but I didn't expect there to be so many people." ”

Director He knelt in the front row and hurriedly replied: "Yesterday, everyone was gathered in the Peony Garden, which was a bit chaotic. ”

"Well, you guys practice, Bengong just came to take a look." Yang Xianrong's eyesight was excellent, and he saw Liu Yao with a beard at a glance and laughed.

Liu Yao looked at her, as if he didn't know a strangeness.

The beauty in palace costume is obviously the same face as the delicate girl in Mingyue Tower or the Northern Military Mansion, but now it is so different, and there is even a sense of alienation from above.

Without a trace, he took a half-step back and lowered his head.

"Master He, Master Sun told you, which ones are playing shakuhachi? Bring it here. Yang Xianrong's footsteps did not stop, and entered the inner hall of the Peony Garden, "It's too cold outside, and it's snowing, don't let everyone stand outside, find some warm place." ”

"Yes, yes, thank you for the Queen's compassion." He hurriedly thanked him.

"By the way, this palace heard that it was full of hunger and singing, so I specially brought some food over. I'm afraid it's a little cold, you can ask someone to warm it up. It's all the food of Mingyue Building, which is very good. Yang Xianrong pointed to the food box that Zhang Liang was carrying, and borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, but it didn't cost her money anyway.

"Oh, the queen is such a good person!" Some of the more daring musicians shouted happily.

"Alright, let's practice quickly." Yang Xianrong's smile was full, "Is that Brother Liu over there?" Don't stand so far, come over quickly. ”

She looked at Liu Yao, and Liu Yao also looked at her.

"This is Brother Liu, oh, Lord Sun brought it in, oh, that, oh......" Director He was speechless for a while, he only knew that this person entered the palace for the queen's performance in the Great Cold Banquet, but he didn't know how to do it, so he didn't know how to say it.

"Well, let's find a room alone and let all these musicians pass." Yang Xianrong saw that Liu Yao didn't want to come over, so he had to walk towards him, "Brother Liu, thank you for your hard work." ”

"Oh, it's okay." Liu Yao still looked at her, his eyes burning.

There is an independent courtyard in the Peony Garden, which is where Director He and a group of palace people live on weekdays.

Now it is set aside separately for the queen to speak with a few musicians who play shakuhachi.

Yang Xianrong sat down, and a lot of people from Tianyuan Palace followed, Zhang Lianghoe and Cui Xi stood beside her, as if they had become guards.

The place was originally small, but now there are so many people, and it is even more crowded.

"Hey, you guys go out a few, there's a charcoal fire here, and you're out of breath." Yang Xianrong waved his hand, "It's good for the musicians to stay, you all go to the door." ”

"Yes." Quite a few people withdrew.

"Let's just practice the song "Sauvignon Blanc"." Yang Xianrong asked Lan Xiang to take out the human bone shakuhachi that Mama Yu gave her, and handed it to Liu Yao in front of her, without seeing it at all, but just said in a low voice: "Brother Liu, it is said that this is made of human bones, you may see one or two?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Yao's eyes tightened, and he took the shakuhachi and looked at it carefully, and his expression gradually became solemn.
